Some new info these past few days.
Atlus announced plans for a Persona 5 anime special during its Persona Special Stage at Tokyo Game Show 2015.
The company also announced plans for a Persona series 20th anniversary commemoration festival.
Further details were not announced.
Some description of characters.
Protagonist (voiced by Jun Abuses will lead to banuyama)
The leader of the Phantom Thieves. A 16-year-old young man and second-year high school student who transfers to Shujin High School. He seems quiet and well-mannered at first glance, but gives a completely different impression once he has donned his “phantom thief” guise. He finds residence at the Shiken Cafe run by his parents’ friend. The reason for him moving from the city to the capital Tokyo is currently unknown.
Ryuji Sakamoto (voiced by Mamoru Miyano)
Just like the protagonist, he is a 16-year-old, second-year student at Shujin High School. He stands out with his wild behavior and seems to be a “problem child” even within the school. More than often, his problematic behavior imposes on the hospitality of the school’s teachers and advisers. He previously did not behave the way he currently does, but the origin of his bad behavior is currently unknown.
An Takamaki (voiced by Nana Mizuki)
A 16-year-old, quarter-American girl who attends Shujin High School. Unable to fit in with those around her due to her noticeably different appearance, she isolates herself within the school. She is often seen hanging out with the protagonist and Ryuji Sakamoto. Strange rumors about her have seemingly been circulating the school, but whether or not they’re true is currently unknown.
Morgana (voiced by Ikue Otani)
The most mysterious member of the Phantom Thieves. Childlike in height, her appearance imitates that of a black cat, but her true identity is completely unknown. It looks like she’s wearing something on her head, but…? That is all the information we currently have. Though she does resemble the black cat often seen with the protagonist…
Atlus confirmed they are more than 4 characters playable.
Some new details. The painting guy with the blue hair is confirmed to be a party member, named Yusuke Kitagawa.
Story

The fifth member of the Phantom Thieves is a young man named Yuusuke Kitagawa, voiced by Tomokazu Sugita. His persona is Goemon.

Nana Mizuki is voicing An Takamaki, and Sugita, the guy who voices Gintoki in Gintama, is fucking voicing Yuusuke? Shit. The English release better fucking have dual audio, cause the japanese cast is perfect and awesome.
